MINES AND MINING.
HOW THEY LOOK IN WHITE PINE
COUNTY.

Sketch OF the Several Districts and
the Work That Is Being Done In
Them.
In an interview with Reno Journal
reporter, J. B. Williamson gives the
following views of the mines and min
ing prospects of this county. The re-
porter got his ideas into print very
fairly, with only few minor errors.
Mr.. W. gives plain, unvarnished his
tory of the subject of which he treats,
which, perhaps no man in White Pine
county is more capable of doing. We
herewith give the principal part of
his interview:

Ruby Hill.

This lie not the only camp on which White
Pine county depends. Across steptoe Valley,
IN the Schell Greek range, is the Ruby Hill
District, which also did its part nobly in the
palmy days of the past. Years ago large
amount of exceedingly rich ore was taken from
the mines in this district and shipped TO Salt
Lake for reduction. The general decline that
took place few years ago In the m ineral fields
all over Nevada had its effect on kuby Hill,
and work on a large scale was generally sus-
pended. Recently it has been renewed aud
with the most encouraging results

engineer of Virginia City, Is one of the most
promising mines In this district. having in the
pact producdd ,000-ouncc ore in quantities
This property is now being worked. and rich
deposit of ore known to exist in the workings
will be thoroughly explored. Mr.. Williamson
is confident that careful exploration will unfold
extensive ore bodies that will bring the prop
erty TO the front again. This ore is fabulously
rich and turns ont bullion very rapidly. The
mine is operated through shaft, and the rich
ore alluded to IL on the 80 foot level. The
property Is only explored to the depth OF 100
feet, and Is practically undeveloped With
such showing near the surface, taken togeth-
er with surface indications, 1t Is reasonable to
suppose that valuable mine will be found
when depth is attained.
At South Camp, about two and one half miles
from Ruby Hill, Mr.. w. B. Lawler is working
n small force of men and IL taking ont some
very fine ore. The prospect for his mine Is
quite promising, but as yet all the work has
been done near the surface.

AMEND Or KILL 1T.

Butte, Deer Lodge, Missoula, Helena.
Fort Benton and other cities and towns in
the Territory have citizens who have voted
in those places for the past twenty odd
years. In many instances their interests
lie on the outside, in mining localities or on
the ranges. They are often absent from
home, especially during the interval be.
tween the twentieth day Of August and the
twenty-hrst day Of October, yet if in the
rush Of their business they fail to appear
before some registry agent they lose their
votes for that year. The bill is unjust in
that respect. One registration should SUI.
fee unless the voter change his voting
place. Prospectors are in the mountains
during the time set for registration. They
have but q voting precinct and have
registered in it. Justice demands they
shall be entitled to vote there when they
come down from their claims on election
day. A soft, sickly sentiment declares il
they don't think enough Of their franchise

Pass that bill, and the sight OF hundreds of

ssBLOODEDH SPORTS.
Butts's Supremacy a. . Gambling
Town on the Wane.

A tour OF the gambling-rooms last night
created an impression that that business
was not as good as it was at N time.
Whether this apparent dullness is brought
about by the recent agitation and discus.
sion of tho legitimacy of the business "a
compared with that of the variety theatre,
or by the workingmen learning herse-sense
by past experience, is hard to determine.
Butte at one time, and that recently. was
known among sporting men as the best
gambling town of it's size in America. There
| were more games, q more liberal limit al
lowed, and play continued longer than in
any mining camp on the Pacific coast.
Then 'dollar-and-a-quarter reds" and
'six-and-a-quarter blues were almost the
only chips seen on the tables; now a stack
of"whites, " worth two dollars, appears a big
bet, and "reds" are retailed at fifty cents
each, with slight demand. "Blues" are q
drug on the market at two-and-a-half, with
an occasional sale to an outside travelling
man. "Yellows" are kept only for q show.
Then games ran day and night, now the
tables are deserted by midnight.
Butte has been dethroned, and the crown
transferred to the city of much anarchy
and more easy morals presided v Q by
that exponent Of "wide-openness." Carter

the chief public gambling town in America,
and big plays there are as frequent as

the proprietor ofone Of the largest gambling
houses in the city. and known as a thigh

lishment kept by jeff Hankins. Sam Dahl

agreed that he should have a table to him.
self-no outside wagers to be allowed; no
bet was to be under 500 or more than
$500. With varying success the player and
dealer contested for the great stacks of
checks and greenbacks. After some hours
OF silent play and fuctuating luck the tide
of fortune turned Smiths way, and he
placed no bet of less than $500. A crowd
OF excited gamblers watched the progress OF
the game, which lasted twelve hours, every
other game in the house closing up. About
daylight in the morning the dealer an
nounced the game closed and turned up the
box. Smith smilingly pocketed about $780,.
600 OF winnings, and ordered a couple of
cases of champagne for the crowd. Is
Butte City, the greatest mining camp on
earth, getting to be too good?
